The isolated town of Beldon, Wisconsin, is shocked when a high school freshman’s body is found in Lake Algonquin. Just like everyone in the community, 16-year-old Daniel Byers believes that Emily Jackson’s death was accidental. But at her funeral, when he has a terrifying vision of her, his world begins to rip apart at the seams. Convinced that Emily’s appearance was more than just a mere hallucination, Daniel begins to look carefully into her death, even as he increasingly loses the ability to distinguish fantasy from reality.

Mr Ferrone, please....
I am loving the Patrick Bower stories as written by Steve James. I am, however, having the hardest time with Mr. Farone, not pronouncing words correctly. This just doesn't happen occasionally. It happens often enough that as I listen to each book I get a little more irritated. I wish I didn't love this series so much because it's hard to listen to. In the end I am hooked, so alas I will be gritting my teeth with each and every mis-pronunciation.

different kind of crime/spy thriller
Even though this is book #5 in the series, this is my second book in the series and second by the author. I enjoyed the first one, "The Bishop", but I wasn't overwhelmed with excitement. So, I chose the book in the series that was highest rated, this one. In the crime/spy action thriller genre the authors must try hard to differentiate their stories from all of the others. This author does it in a different way than most. At the beginning of the book it says the book is recorded by Recorded Book Inspirational so you think there must be some goody two shoes overtones in the story and I'm OK with that. But, for instance, the crimes are heinous and the violence gruesome in this series. Then I don't know that I really understand why the author involves his senior in high school step daughter in the investigation the way he does as in real life I can't believe an FBI agent would or could in any way, shape or form involve a family member the way Tessa gets involved. It almost seems hokey. But, maybe that's where the inspirational part comes into the story as the author uses the daughter and her life events to pontificate somewhat on life and right versus wrong. But this was an easy story to listen to, to stick with. I mostly want to be entertained when I listen to a book and this was definitely entertaining.

Great Books In Spite Of the Lead Character
The second book where someone who Pat feels is as smart, if not smarter than him turns out to be a rouge agent? Who’s next Lian Wah? I love all the characters, save the lead. He has to always be the one to figure things out and seems to think nothing will get done or solved unless he’s front and center leading the charge. The way he refers to the now Director of the FBI by her first name after she’s continually asked to be called by her title baffles me as to why he hasn’t been written up for insubordination. Overall, this was a great storyline and I can see where the writer has improved greatly. This book covered several topics, but never became confusing. Lastly, love the Narrator, as always!!!!

last in the series for me
The narrator is one of my favorites and I've enjoyed the previous in the series because the "faith based" sponsorship of these books has been minor. This one not so, morality all over the book and a dose of religious fervor in the form of Muslim bashing. Unfortunately because the stories are actually good, this will be my last in this series. This one felt like a second rate editor spliced in poorly written sophomoric Sunday school lessons.

Not as good as Bishop, but some high points
The first thing that bothered me was that the author spent way too much time reviewing things that happened in previous books. There are some really neat characters and happenings in this book to make it worthwhile, but it's not a very tidy work. The enigmatic assassin Alexei and his bone gun were the best part. James always adds a dialogue about a moral issue in each of his books, using Tessa as the devil's advocate. This one was about forgiveness, and there was a little too much focus on it, distracting from the story.
